    Palace are trailing but they are doing all the attacking at Selhurst Park. Joel Ward's cross is flicked on by Glenn Murray and acrobatically hit by an overhead kick from Yannick Bolasie, but saved. Much more of this and the home side won't be trailing for long.

    "It was a fast start from Leicester, they came out flying, surprised Swansea and got the all important goal. Swansea are now probing to see if they can get back into the game before half-time."

    What a chance to equalise! Burnley now break through but Dave Jones puts his shot on the run way over the bar. Great chance.

    League One: Two goals in three minutes for MK Dons in their vital game against Leyton Orient. The O's will drop into the bottom four with a defeat, while MK Dons are aiming to move within one point of second-placed Preston. Dean Bowditch put MK Dons ahead before Lewis Baker, on loan from Chelsea, added a second.

    League Two: An eventful day for Accrington. A player sent off, then they took the lead, now they have conceded a penalty, which Stevenage's Simon Walton converted to make it 1-1.

    A break in play allows Nigel Pearson to give his team some instructions on the touchline. His swipes his arms, he points and leaves them in no uncertain terms what he wants. On the Pearson anger-o-meter it's a calm 3.

    "Kevin Mirallas was so lucky it's unreal (see 15:28). It came off his shin, off his knee, but came back into his path and it's a simple finish in the end."

    "I don't think that's a penalty (see 15:26). Craig Gardner tuned his back on the ball but Wilfried Zaha is waiting for the foul. He has to go after the ball."

    Everton now do take the lead and it's no more than they deserve. Seamus Coleman pulls the ball over from the right, Arouna Kone runs over the ball and Kevin Mirallas slams it home from close range. He air-kicks his first shot but has time to let the ball bounce and fire it in.

    "This Leicester run is a statement for the board members and chairman who made a big decision to keep Nigel Pearson when they were under all sorts of pressure. They showed a lot of patience and they are on the verge of a massive turnaround. They look like they are not going to get beat the way they have started here today."

    Stoke now coming back into the game after a dominant spell from the hosts. Plenty of huff and puff but not much in the way of quality.

    Palace are seeking parity at Selhurst Park. Yannick Bolasie, who scored a hat-trick last week, turns and shoots but Boaz Myhill saves. Moments later, Craig Gardner appears to foul Wilfried Zaha in the box as a ball is swung to the back post but the referee doesn't agree with the home fans' screams for a spot-kick.

    Swansea's first real attack sees Jonjo Shelvey blaze over from range after Gylfi Sigurdsson's shot from the edge of the box is blocked.

    "It's Morgan Schneiderlin's goal (see 15:21). It was an underhit corner but Jose Fonte made something of it by attacking the ball. His header was on target but it's definitely Schneiderlin's goal."

    "Bournemouth are looking for the win which would take them back to the top of the Championship - but the visitors have lost two players to injury before a quarter of an hour was played.

    "Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood, named on the team sheet, is presumed to have picked up an injury in the warm-up as he was replaced by substitute Chris Kirkland before kick-off - while midfielder Sam Hutchinson limped off with an apparent hamstring strain in the 14th minute. Hot and sunny here, but no clear-cut chances at either end."

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 18 April 2015

    When is a tackle not a tackle? Burnley forward Ashley Barnes is booked for a sliding tackle from behind on James McCarthy, he is nowhere near making contact with the midfielder but is booked anyway. For intent I presume.

    Championship: Steve McClaren's Derby side are aiming to secure a play-off spot, and a stunning Tom Ince's long-range strike has given them a 1-0 lead at Huddersfield.

    League One: Rochdale are hoping to reach the League One play-offs. It is not going to plan though, as they trail to Bradley Dack's goal for Gillingham. Crewe and Peterborough are also 1-0 ahead against Walsall and Barnsley respectively. Crawley lead against fellow strugglers Notts County, Kelly Youga the goalscorer.

    League Two: They are down to 10-men, but that has not stopped Accrington. They are 1-0 up versus sixth-placed Stevenage. It is a miserable day for Hartlepool. They are 2-0 behind at Luton.

    Leicester have drawn Swan blood and are going in for the kill. Marc Albrighton cuts in from the right and curls a left-footed shot just past the far post.

    Great goal poaching! Jose Fonte heads on a corner from the right, it's on its way in but Morgan Schneiderlin can smell a goal bonus and stretches in to tap it over the line from inches out. Saints into a deserved lead.
